According to several sources and surveys in North America, the following ten foods are considered overall to be the most healthy as reported by medicalnewstoday.com
1. Apples - are an excellent souces of anitoxidants, which combat free radicals. Free radicals are damaging substances generated in the body that cause undesirable changes and are involved in the aging process and some diseases. Some studies have found that an antioxidant found in apples might extend lifespans. Guess it goes to show you those old wise tales may be true! "An aple a day keeps the doctor away."
2. Almonds- rich in nutrients including magnesium, vitamin E, iron, calcium, fiber and riboflavin. A scientific review publised in Nutrition Reviews last year found that almonds as a food may help maitain healty cholesterol levels. Almonds have more fiber than any other tree nut. Almonds are 91-94% unsaturated fatty acids! Unsaturated is the "healthy" fat.
3. Broccoli- Didn't your mother tell you to eat your broccoli? She was right, it is rich in fiber, calcium, potassium, folate and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are compounds which reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.
4. Blueberries- rich in fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients. According to a study carried out at Harvard Medical School, elderly people who eat plenty of blueberries and strawberries are less likely to suffer from cognative decline. They are also named by scientists at Texas Woman's University to help in curbing obesity.
5. Oily Fish- such as salmon, trout, mackerel, herring and anchovies. These types of fish have oil in their tissues and around the gut. Their lean fillets contain up to 30% oil, specifically omega 3 fatty acids. These oils are known to provide benefits for the heart and the nervous system.
6. Green leafy vegetables- Studies have shown that a high intake of dark leafy vegetables, such as spinach or cabbage may significantly lower a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Spinach is very rich in antioxidants especially uncookded. It is a good source of Vitamins A, B6, C,E and K as well as selenium, niacin, zinc, phosphorus, copper,folic acitd, potassium, calcium, magnese, betaine and iron.

9. Avocados- Many people avoid avocados because of its high fat content; they believe that avoiding all fats leads to better health and weight managment. This is a myth. Approximately 75% of the calories in an avocado come from fat, mostly monosaturated fat. Avocado extracts are currently being studied in the laboratory to see whether they might be useful for treating diabetes and hypertension.
10. Oatmeal-Studies have shown that if you eat a bowl of oatmeal everyday your blood cholesterol levels, especially if they are too high, wil drop, because of the cereal's soluable fiber content.
